Alexander III 50 Kopecks 1891-AГ MS62 NGC, St. Petersburg mint, KM-Y45, Bit-84. Mintage: 24,008. Some light chatter among the fields may serve to limit the grade from further excellence but it does little to diminish this conditionally scarce example's immense eye appeal. The patina is an excellent combination of steel and ice blue, and mint frost glistens atop each side's handsome central design. For the cherry on top, light beams from the deep fields create an overall scintillatingly lustrous appearance. This popular but fleeting type is seldom seen as nice as this and should inspire spirited competition.
